I don't really know where to start this, so I'm just going to jump right in.
I was browsing around on reddit and came across this thing called the C25K. At first, I thought that it was some sort of fad diet, who's letters I didn't comprehend. After reading about it I was intrigued. It sounds legit, though I really wouldn't know because I am super un-athletic.
I start doing some research on it and eventually stumbled upon this guy's story. I should stop here to say that I have a very short attention span, and after spending as much time online as I do, not much really surprises me or intrigues me for any length of time. I start watching this video, even laughing at the beginning (Sorry, but I am being honest- the song choice made me laugh at first). I'm a bigger girl myself, and like him, I was also once (a very very long time ago) a "normal" sized person. I just recently got under the 200 mark, and I can only attribute that to the fact that I am a tad depressed and started working in the heat for July.
Anyway, I have started college again to earn a second degree. A plus to this (besides the whole becoming gainfully employed) is that I get to work out at the wonderful (seriously, it is nice) gym again. I know I need to lose weight, but I tend to find excuses that lead to me giving up a workout regimen. Ben's story really hit home. I don't think anyone's fitness story has ever touched me the way his has.
I was going to send this to him in an email, but chickened out. I figure he gets emails and such daily and I'm sure these types of things get old after a while. I do hope that I have enough motivation to keep going like he did. I strongly encourage anyone looking to start a plan to learn about the C25K and watch Ben's story. (Also, he is a hottie). If anyone has advice, please let me know.
Here's the video if you are like me and too lazy to give a crap and click that link
